– It’s finished. No waiting on episodes, they’re all there.
– It’s wrapped up after 5 seasons in a way that makes sense; it wasn’t cancelled.
– It’s science-fiction. Packed with mystery, unexplained occurrences and all the other stuff that make your curiosity perk up.
– It’s created by JJ Abrams, Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman, Bryan Burk and J.H. Wyman. Some of these you might know from making the Star Trek reboot or the sci-fi TV show “Almost Human”.
– Main character is a female. She’s an FBI agent. She isn’t sexualized. She isn’t masculine. She isn’t a cliché. She isn’t made fun of for being a female agent. She is actually very intelligent and very appreciated by her co-workers.
– Her boss is a male POC.
– Another female agent is a POC as well.
– John Noble. The ‘mad scientist’ of the show.
– Leonard Nimoy. Yep. He’s a recurring character.
– Sebastian Roché and Jared Harris. Also, Blair Brown.
– Parallel universe!
– The love stor(ies) that happen don’t reduce anyone to a love interest.
– David Bowie references. (You’ll spot them, trust me)
– Cases of the week + serialisation
– Have I mentioned the fact that the characters aren’t a cliché?
– Freaky stuff. You’ll love it. It might freak you out but you’ll love it.
